Great job, Jim. It's been a long time coming, but great to finally have SFTP support in my long0-time favorite FTP client!

There are, however, a couple minor annoyances that I've noticed thusfar:

1) Keyboard navigation is broken. In previous versions, pressing return would download the selected file or open the selected folder/directory. Now it just highlights for renaming. Thinking more Finder-like, I tried command-O, but no dice (open local file dialog). Noticed in the Remote menu there's no shortcut for Get. Bummer. I've gotten very used to navigating long files lists by keyboard in earlier versions.

2) Along the same lines, command-D no longer brings up the change directory dialog. Looks like it's been replaced by shift-command-G -- nasty key combo that will take a lot of getting used to.

Ah-ha, command-down-arrow! I should be able to make the adjustment to that easily enough. Maybe you could add that shortcut to next to Get the Remote menu?

I do have full keyboard access on and I'm not quite sure what the answer to the tab order is. Given the layout, you're probably stuck with what's there. I might consider moving the two menus above the hostname field, but still give hostname default focus. I'd also consider moving password up under username. Then you could easily tab through the primary text inputs, or shift-tab to access the menus. Wouldn't look as nice, though, would it?

By the way, super job with the SFTP support! Fetch's SFTP is signficantly faster than MacSFTP, which I'm very glad to be dragging to the trash (okay, command-deleting) this morning.

The new version is nice (already paid my upgrade fee), but there are a couple of problems:

1. According to Fetch's Help, the "Edit images with" menu under Obscure Preferences should show GraphicConverter if that program is installed. I do have GC installed, but it doesn't show up in that menu.

2. When uploading files via SFTP, the permissions are set to 600. Some SFTP programs have a way to specify default permissions for uploaded files (files uploaded to a web site need to be set to 644, not 600), but Fetch doesn't seem to have such a preference.

Safari should download it as a file named "GraphicConverter test" (don't rename it). Select it in the Finder, and choose Get Info from the Finder File menu. What does the Finder show as the file's Open With application?
